IMPORTANT BANK DECISION.
Extent to Which the Liabilities of
Stockholders Can BE Enforced.

In the insolvent bank case Of Alonzo
Richmond, Charles Comstock, aud others
against Agnes f. Irons and Andrew II.
Foskett, executor and executrix Of James
Irons, deceased, and others, decision was
rendered In the United States Supreme
Court yesterday.
This was a suit to enforce the personal
liability Of the stockholders for the debts
of the insolvent Manufacturers National
Bank Of Chicago. A master appointed by
the court below to ascertain the amounts OF
the debts and assets of the bank reported
on the 25th OF May, 1886, that the indabt-
edness OF the bank at that time was $780,
1888; that SG9,3i6 should be added to that
sum for the expenses of the receivership,
making total Of S4lC,079, and that the
necessary assessment upon the stockholders
to pay said Indebtedness was SO per cent.
upon the capital stock OF $500,000. Many
exceptions were made to the masters re.
port, but they were all Overruled, and q
decree was entered against each stock
holder severally for the amount computed
to be due from him according to the amount
Of his stock
From this decree Richmond, Comstock,
and Others appealed.
Justice Matthews, delivering the opinion
of the court, held that the action Of the
circuit court in permitting amendments to
the original proceedings was justified by
the rules on that subject, as stated by the
court In the case Of Neale VS.. Neale, &c.
Second. That the statute Of limitations,
even IL applicable ss bar to this proceed
ing, ceased to run against the creditors OF
the bank entitled to the benefit OF the de-
cree, from the time when the amended bill
was filed, In October, 1876. 1t had not then
taken effect.
Third. That the obligation of deceased
stockholder survives as against his personal
representatives.
Fourth. That Comstock is liable on stock
sold by him in good faith, but not trans
ferred on the banks books, as well as on
stock sold with knowledge Of the banks
insolvency.
Fifth. That the stockholders are by law
exonerated from the obligation to con-
tribute to the payment Of all claims In class
d, amounting In the aggregate to $1S5,000.
Sixth. That the creditors are entitled to
interest on the debts of the bank as against
the stockholders, and
Seventh. That the stockholders are not
bound to contribute as debt due from the
bank or themselves to fund for the pay
ment Of the expenses of the receivership.
The decree Of the circuit court, In SO far
as II is inconsistent with the foregoing do.
cision, Is reversed, and the cause remanded
with directions to proceed therein as justice
and equity may require In conformity with
this opinion.

VIRGINIA NEWS.

The Richmond Daily Times has been en-
larged to twenty-eight columns.
The Norfolk Light Artillery Blues have
decided to attend the National Drill in
Washington In May.
Mr.. George G. Ayres, for many years one
of the leading tobacco manufacturers OF
DOnyille, will, 1t is said, make Washington
his future home.
The Old Dominion Steamship Company,
at Norfolk, lind 1t difficult to handle all the
Tennessee marble that comes over the
Norfolk and Western railroad for New
York, and large quantities now lie In their
warehouse.
The Danville Register has this to say In
regard to the leaf tobacco market: The
transactions in tobacco during the past
week have been small. All bright goods are
selling we'll, but they arc very scarce.
Common grades are selling low and there is
no money In them for the planter. II is
not always pleasant thing to have TO tell
theplain, cruel truth about business matters,
but the fact is that the farmers have gos to
change their style of farming or starye.
The Danville and New River railroad Is
now paying Its operating expenses aud this
month will have surplus fund. This is
due to an increase OF business on the road
and the economical management of Mr..
Wrenshall. That class Of Danville and
New River railroad bonds known as west
ern divivision bonds, which are first
mortgage on the contemplated line west OF
Stuart, second mortgage on the line be.
tween Martlnsyllle and Danville, have I'D
vanced from 30 cents to 20 cents In the last
two weeks. The advance Is due to the al
most certain widening of the gauge of the
railroad, its amalgamation with the Dan.
yille and Atlantic, aud its extension west
from Stuart.

VIRGINIA COUPON TAX CASE
The State Again Knocked Out by the
Higher Court,

Another Virginia coupon tax case-that
of William L. Royal against the state of
Virginia--was yesterday sat down upon by
the Supreme Court of the United States.
This was an appeal from a judgment pro-
nounced against Royal by the supreme
court Of appeals Of Virginia, on the 25th Of
February last, in case In which he was
prosecuted by the state for practicing his
profession as lawyer without license,
after having rendered the said state's cou-
pOns In payment Of his license tax.
Chief Justice Waite, delivering the opin-
ion of the court, held ''that the present
case could not be distinguished In principle
from that Of Royal VS.. Virginia (116 United
States, 572), and on that authority the
judgment Of the supreme court Of appeals
of Virginia is reversed and the cause re-
manded, with directions to allow the writ
Of error which was prayed for"
A decision was also rendered in the
similar coupon tax case Of III. A. Carper,
iailer of Pulaski county, Va, against
Richard L. Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald was
travelling salesman for the firm of Austin
Fields & Co., Of Philadelphia. He was ar
rested in Pulaski county, Va, for doing
business without a license after he had
made an offer of tax receivable coupons
in payment for such license. Upon writ
custody by Judge Bond, Of the United
States circuit court for the eastern district
Of Virginia, sitting as circuit Judge in
chambers at Baltimore. The state of
Virginia, through its iailer, appealed from
Judge Bonds decision. Chief Justice
Waite delivered the opinion of the court
dismissing the appeal.

CANE SUGAR MAKING.
what Commissioner Colman Thinks OF
the Diffusion Process.

Commissioner Colman has returned from
Louisiana, whittier ho went three weeks
ago to prepare the way for experiments in
cane sugar making by the diffusion process.
~ have selected the Warmoth planta-
tlon, as you already know" he said yester-
day to REPUBLICAN reporter, "as the
place where we shall make the trial. A
meeting OF the Sugar Planters Associa-
tion, at which was present by invitation,
appointed committee Of eight of their
number to act with the president OF the
association In selecting plantation, and
this committee reported unanimously In
favor of Gov. Warmoth's place for n
variety Of reasons, the chief OF which are
thai his buildings, steam power, and ap-
pliances are the best available. The sugar
growers are very much interested In this
work, and will watch its progress closely.
The association will appoint two OF It's
members to act with Prof. Wiley as board
OF management, majority Of which will
control the work In every detail. The out
look Is very promising, though | have
made and shall make no prophesies as to
results. The result of our work with cane In
Kansas was far beyond expectations, though
we labored under many difficulties. Ex-
perts who examined our cane before 1t was
shipped said that its yield would be only
about go pounds per ton. yet we got about
l40 pounds. IL our experiment In Louis.
lana proves as successful as We hope, the
planters will be enabled to compete sue
cessfully with the beet sugar interests be-
yond doubt. 1t Is true that by the new
process we add about 25 per cent OF water,
which will require to be evaporated, but the
expense Of this operation will be more than
met by the saving in steam power required
to run the machinery. A mill which now
requires $50 horsepower to run its rollers
will require perhaps not more than five
horsepower to propel the cutters. II we
assume that this saving will just meet the
added expense of evaporation-and It
should do more than that-then there is the
promised increase Of 80 per cent. from which
10 expect increased profits. One large
planter, whose average yield this season
was about so pounds per ton, told me, after
figuring closely upon the matter. that the
new process would have made difference
III his favor Of about $37 900.

Answering the Marshal.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: VIII you
kindly allow me space in your columns briefly
to say that the statement made by the New
York Sun rs given to II by Marshal Wilson, OF
this District, is an unjust reelection upon Fred
erick Douglass as marshal. Marshal Wilson
states that IA negro was charged with having
stolen goose: over thirty witnesses were sum
moned by The marshal, and the grand Jury
spent two days IN their examination. When
the case was concluded the foreman reported
the facts to Judge Macarthur, and expressed
the opinion hat witnesses were summoned in
many cnses for revenue only" This report 10
tho Judge, according TO Marshal Wilson, re-
sultcd IN correcting the abuse. Marshal VIII
son further says that that has been of service
to him as marshal and has enabled him to
save TO tho treasury pretty large sum as wit
ness fees. Now, Mr.. Editor, this Is rather
cheap, TO say the least. Marshal Wilson may
be Il, very efficient officer ani very learned In
his duty, but how and by what right does he
control us TO who shall be witnesses in case
before the grand jury2 That authority is In
the hands of tho United States attorney, who
furnishes through the CLERKS office the papers
for service TO the marshal. Can the marshal
refuse 10 serve United States subpmnas? The
intended reflection upon ex-Marhal Douglass
and the magnifying OF Marshal Wilson'S
ability is far-feohed. l.. II, DOUGLASS,

RAILWAYS AND CANALS.
Their Abilities to Transport Naval Ma
terial and Boats.

The Navy Department is still prosecuting
the inquiries begun some time ago relative
to the ability Of the railways and canals of
the country to transport boats and naval
material from the sea to inland waters. 1t
has been learned that the facilities Of the
existing railroads are limited TO the ability
to transport boats Of an extreme length Of
1l0 feet, while the Erie canal will permit
the passage from the Atlantic ocean to the
lakes; of torpedo boats 100 feet in length.
AS tho torpedo craft necessary for the
defense of the lake ports are not required
to be as seaworthy and as large as those In
tended for the protection Of the seacoast, 1t
is believed that the existing facilities are
ample. The fact that these inquiries by the
department were begun more than year
ago is regarded by naval officers as suffl-
cient answer to any inference that might be
drawn to the effect that they indicated pre-
perations for a struggle growing out Of the
fisheries dispute.
